-Welcome to the Slackware Live Edition! This is a version of Slackware-current (soon to become 14.2), that can be run from a DVD or a USB stick.

Slackware Live Edition does not have to be installed to a computer hard drive (however you do have that choice if you want to: using the setup2hd script).

==== Creating a Live ISO from scratch ====
-Creating an ISO image of Slackware Live Edition requires that you are running Slackware 14.2 (64-bit). Older releases of Slackware have a kernel that is too old to support liveslak's use of the "overlayfs" kernel functionality, and are lacking the squashfs tools. Likewise, a Slackware Live Edition can only be created for Slackware 14.2 or newer.
